Aileron hinge pins

Onto the ailerons now.

Same deal as the elevator hinge pins - they must be completely surrounded by Flock.

First off I tried to do the whole job in one go - but this turned out to be a mess. The Flock is a bit gooey and tends to ooze out everywhere.

Figured out that I should do it in two parts.

This worked out well. It has the added benefit of being able to see the hinge pin and line it up exactly. (if it were immersed in the flock then this would be more difficult.)

I also prepped the wings rear rib for fiberglass taping by putting a smooth radius on the edges with flock.

Make sure to roughen up hinge pin so it bonds to the flock

Clamping everything down so it doesn't move about

Another clamp to hold the pin in correct place whilst it dries
